Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means "The Science of Life.” Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5.000 years ago and is often called the “Mother of All Healing." It stems from the ancient Vedic culture and was taught for many thousands of years hi an oral tradition from accomplished masters to their disciples.

Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one's life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and the use of herbs. Knowledge of Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create this balance of body, mind and consciousness according to one's own individual constitution and how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance.
